Five Stone Elements

This mosaic displays a series of forms referring to rock stacking by a stream, an exercise that requires balance, mindfulness and stillness. It is done to bring about focus, peace and calm for both maker and viewers. For Louise, who identifies with being in a marginalised group, the art of mosaic making brings about these qualities of peace and calm.
